Is it possible to monitor Windows from Linux?

Question

linux

Hello! There is Ubuntu 16.10 and Windows 7. There is a router between them, D-link Dir-320 (but this, I think, is not important). I want to try to monitor Windows with Ubuntu as a self-learning goal, namely:
1. What is done in Windows.
2. Where do they go in the browser.

Answer 1

where they go - mirror Windows traffic to Linux and sniff as much as you like. But now there are many sites with https, you will only see the fact of entering the site. want more - you have to raise the proxy.
what they are doing - I don’t know the “silver bullet” here. if log analysis is enough, you can take ossec or beats from elasticsearch. If you want to see the screen - VNC as an example. Well, or look for some kind of DLP, here I will not tell you.

Answer 2

Мониторить можно откуда угодно. Это называется СМП - Система Мониторинга Пользователей. Например Стахановец. Один комп можно мониторить демкой, работать будет. Установка непростая, но мониторит все - если между ними есть связь, конечно. И виртуалка с виндой понадобится - Стахановец работает только на винде.
